At the Reunion in this city in September the
West Virginia State Association elected James
A. Wear, of Grand Island, President, and John
b. Sawhill, 925 South Twenty-third street,
Omaha, Neb., Secretary. The Secretary urgently
requests the name of every West Virginia SOL
der who resides in Nebraska, as there will be-
a roster published soon.
The st. Louis papers say great deal about
an ex-Confederate marching in the procession
in that city during the GAR. Encampment.
/ state with pleasure that one of "Stonewall
Jackson's 10th Va" boys was Color Guard dur
ing our Reunion parade in this city, the writer
of this note carrying the colOrs. Capt. Wear,
OF the 1st w. Va, had command of the West
Virginia boys in the parade, and he was pitted
against the aforesaid 10th Va. boy at Winches-
ter. If the boys of both armies were lefbalone
they would never wave the bloody shirt or
open the bloody ehasm, but the partisan papers
are continually stirring up things The ex-
Confederate above referred TO said the bows in
blue were among his best friends and he never
got insulted when the word rebel was used in
referring to past events; he could make but
one excuse against marching, and that was that
he had no badge. He was furnished with
Reunion badge and went marching along, cheer
ing everything and everybody.
Some people say that the GAR. is decreas-
ing, but as Officer of the Day of George A. Gus

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
Golden, Co. B, 22d Ind, in writing of the bat
tie of Peach Tree Creek says that nc does not
claim that the Third Brigade, Second Division,
Fourteenth Corps, was the first to cross the
creek. i think if he did that he would be
about right. / do not know at what time in
the day the Third Brigade crossed but do
know that the Orderly who brought US the or
der to support the Third Brigade-about A
o'clock in the afternoon Of July 19-said that
the Third Brigade was fighting half of the
rebel army-bUt he may have been excited. I
know that when we crossed the creek and got
within supporting distance, the boys of the
22d Ind. and 52d Ohio had bit off more than
they could chew" and I think they wanted
some one to help them "let 60" We of the
Fourteenth Corps are willing to give OUR COM
rades of the Twentieth Corps all that they
earned, and no more. From the planting of the
first flag on Lookout Mountain until the close
of the Atlanta campaign, one would think that
the Twentieth Corps did all of the ightiug and
that the rest of the army were train guards or
guarding blOckhouses. We of the old Four
teenth Corps know where some of the fighting
came in. Now, comrades of the Twentieth, do
give us chance to plant our flag some place, il

The Day Of the Week at Manila.
[Cham6ers's Journat.l

Although the Philippine Islands lie near to
the Asiatic coast, it was by Spaniards who
sailed eastward from America that they were
settled. Did they revise their calendar when
they crossed the magic line, and strike out a
day to keep themselves abreast of the times ?
No such thing; the Spanish dons of that day
were proud and fiery folk, and if their calen-
dar did not agree with the times, then so much
the worse for the times. Anyhow, the fact re-
mains that, when they arrived at the Manila
or Philippine Islands, they still reckoned by
the calendar which had been taken from Spain
to America, and from America by them on
their voyage. They were, of course, day in
arrear; but as there were not then any impor-
tant settlements of civilized nations thereabout
with whom the date could be compared the
error was not noticed, the reckoning took rm
hold, and in consequence the inhabitants OF
Manila keep plodding along one day behind all
their immediate nei ghbors.

Concerning some Cauturpd FLAGS.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I would like
to ask, through your columns, of the Ohio
soldiers about few flags we have in the relic
room that have no history, or if there is any,
it has been lost. On one captured by the 4th
Ohio Cav. at Selma, Ala, there is painted
" Rifle Scouts" Death before Submission" I
would like the name of State to which the
scouts belonged, and the date Of capture. On
one taken from the courthouse at Jackson,
Miss, there is no date or record as to who took
it down. There were two taken from this
same courthouse at different times. The one
here is of silk-three bars with blue field and
IL stars. One is marked Plentitude Invin-
cibles," but has no date or inscription by whom
captured, or to what State it belonged. It is
silk, three bars, blue field and IL stars, heavy
fringe, and tassels Of red. The 51st Ga. flag,
captured at Kingston, Tenn, has no date or
statement by what regiment it was captured.
1t has ross-bars, red ground and 13stars. The
above information is wanted that the flags may
be properly labeled and credit given to the
captors.-SILAs CRowELL, Superintendent Flag

Gratis Seleeted-What is said About


Gratis ~elested-What is said About
Them.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The President
has appointed the following Interstate COM
merce commissioners:
Thomas NJ. Cooley, of Michigan, for the
term of six years; VIM. R. Morrison, of Ili-
nois, for the term of five years; Augustus
Schoonmaker, of New York, for the term of
four years; Aldace F. Walker, of Vermont,
for the term of three years. Walter L.
Bragg, of Alabama, for the term of two
years.
Thomas NJ. Cooley, of Michigan, was born
at Attiea, N. Y, in 1924, studied law and
removed to Michigan in 1843, where he has
since resided. He was elected a justice of
the Supreme court of Michigan in 1854, 1869
and 1877. He is the author of standard legal
works and is now receiver of the Wabash
railroad.
William R. Morrison, of Illinois, was born
in Illinois September IA, 1925, is a lawyer
and was in Congress from 1915 to 1887.
Walter L. Bragg, of Alabama, was born in
Alabama in 1888, but resided in Arkansas
from 1S43 to 1861. He was educated at Har-
ward. He has been the law partner of Sena-
tor Morgan. He has been president of the
Alabama State railroad commission.
Aldace F. Walker is Vermont Republican
lawyer forty -four years old who studied law
railroad question extensively as a member of
the Vermont State Senate.
August Sehoonmaker of Kingston, N. Y,
was born in Ulster county in 1928 and is
lawyer in active practice; was a State sena-
tor and close friend of Governor Tilden and
in 1878 attorney general of New York sue
ceeding Fairehild. He was delegate to the
Democratic conventions of 1876, 1880 and
1884.
Of the Ave commissioners Messrs. Morris
on, Shoemaker and Bragg are Democrats,
and Messrs Cooley and Walker Republicans.
Until to day the names of Messrs. Schoon
maker and Walker were not decided upon,
and it is not known whether they will ac-
cept, but it is believed that they will. Con
siderable criticism is INDUCED in that a Re
publican should be named by the President
as first on the commission, but the law Gre
ating the commission gives the majority
power TO select a chairman. It is stated
that the President gave Judge Cooley the
longest term as recompense for his sur
rendering the membership of the Wabash
system, which is more lucrative than his
present appointment.

FIsHERmES EXCITED.
A Fresh Arrival From Novfa Se0ti
Roughly Treated by Portland Men

A Fresh Arrival From Novfa Scotia
Roughly Treated by Portland Men.
PoRTLAED, Me-, March 22-Great excite
ment was created among fishermen along the
docks to-day by the arrival the Nova Scotia
merchant vessel "On Time with party of
Nova Scotia fishermen on board. The new
arrivals were rather roughly treated by the
indignant Americans. They were greeted
with shouts, ego back home" 'keep out of
our three mile limits,'' ''send Captain Quig-
ley here, " "did you inform on us?" and the
like. In some way the report gained ground
that one of the men who, having sold bait to
Captain Doughty Uniformed on him., was
on the vessel. The report was false bat had
he been here he might have received very
rough treatment. One of the most intelli-
gent of the strangers said that they came
here to ship because there is no money in the
fisheries anywhere else. The big men of the
Dominion care nothing for the poor fisher
men. The Nova Scotians want the govern
ment, they formerly had, they want to sell
II they can do this they can make
a good living but otherwise they
must starve. The editors who claim that
they do not want commercial intercourse
with the United States never had a big lot of
bait on hand, an empty larder at home and
big Yankee off shore crazy to buy. In spite
of these statements none of the new arrivals
had any faith that intercourse would be re-
stored. The Portland feet is fitting out very
fast and by the last of this week the larger
portion of the sehooners will be sailed. Cap
tains are being instructed to keep clear of
the Nova Scotia coast, but at the same time
the owners, captains and fishermen claim
commercial rights and will ask to be pro-
tected in their assertions
